I just moved to Heidelberg from NYC. I'm looking for cool people to hang out with and explore the city with.

I love the arts - drawing, painting, photography, dance, fashion, music. If you want to expose me to more & more & more of it I will not complain.

I'm a big fan of wasting time on the Internet (some might call that learning and/or socializing), being at the beach, and leisure in general. I like reading about and discussing politics/philosophy/social/cultural issues.

I painted my apartment by myself, and I can use a drill/hammer/screwdriver. People seem to think this is impressive. I'd call it ordinary/how else am I gonna get shit done.

I am silly, social, and pretty awesome

Working for a university, learning to code, learning more about social media & mobile technologies, taking dance classes, writing, seeing, feeling, tasting. Observing, analyzing, learning to sew, learning German, traveling Europe every chance I get, taking more pictures/trying to create something every day

Writing, still-life drawing, playing therapist to my friends, dancing

is my teeth, and it embarrasses the hell out of me. They say I have nice teeth, but it just takes me back to being a kid pre-braces and getting made fun of. I don't know what else people notice; you'd have to ask them. But that's what gets said to me, and it's weird.

MUSIC:
Fiona Apple
John Frusciante
a shit ton of 90s rock (make fun of me all you want)
a lot of local acts I believe in
Regina Spektor
Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers album
misogynistic hip-hop when it's so over-the-top that it makes me laugh
some metal
old country
anti folk
old Ben Harper
early Incubus
oh shit, I'm back in the 90s again
whatever, I like all music except modern country, adult contemporary, boy bands, and classical

Writers:
Chuck Palahniuk, John Irving, Kurt Vonnegut

Naomi Wolf

Movies:
stupid buddy comedies, old horror flicks that are not scary but funny
I'm working on watching all of Mickey Rourke's early 80s films, because I recently discovered that he was smokin' hot back then. So if you are some arty type who wants to watch Barfly with me that would be rad.

Food:
Sushi forever

for some reason I'm still watching Dexter even though it's gotten pretty awful
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

the environment and small changes i can make to lessen my carbon footprint

SO TIRED. Let's pretend it's Saturday: going out with friends for dinner, drinks, dancing

I've already done enough of that.

you want to have fun in life.
you want to find a new friend to explore the city with.
you are not a slutty creep.
